Well, if someone does abuse their power on Hive, I believe it will eventually come back and bite their own ass. They are not only hurting you, but they are hurting themselves by doing so.
It is however completely another thing if their reasoning is correct, and they aren't doing it out of spite. I mean there was a particular bidbot issue that was solved by whales stepping in, and while people complained (pretty much about the same things) about getting downvoted, the bidbots eventually disappeared.
Layer 2 projects may help solve some of the power abuse issues, yes. Mass adoption will likely fix the rest. But we also need to be sure the system will be able to handle a mass migration to Hive.
Reputation may not mean much to them, but I spent countless of hours making posts, comments, and interaction and through several minutes of rage he neutralized all of my effort... (3 post and dozens of downvote brought me from 50something to 0)
Well I feel as it was out of spite as after I posted that I received a barrage of downvotes.https://ecency.com/neoxian/@infinitytcg/my-last-post-here-in-neoxian-or-using-this-tag-ever
Yeah I'm noticing there are some bidbots at play in tribal now and I plan on creating a system to solve that in the future or lower their amounts of profit to better help distribute the resources to those who need it.
I mean sure communities such has vyb are great, but that is an infrastructure issue that layer 1 and witnesses will need to have serious thoughts about. Well issue is mass adoption won't fix it as it is proof of stake atm and that instance is reason I haven't scaled in promotions for the network on various of my channels at the moment, but I'm only 2 months here so I won't suggest more and try to absorb more information about all of this first.
